NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller Review - PAGE 2

NZXT ships the Sentry 2 in an appropriately sized black box sporting a simple, straight to the point design. The packaging feels solid enough to keep it safe from outside damage. Both ends of the controller are also protected and kept into place by styrofoam.

This is what you get for opening the box: the fan controller, four screws and six small pieces of adhesive tape. There's also a pretty much useless instruction manual -- if I can call it that.

On the outside, the fan controller looks and feels very 'plasticky', which isn't too pleasant for the eye, but it also doesn't appear dusty like a glossy surface would.

The rear of the controller is a bit messy; but, that's the price to pay for the ability to connect five fans with either a molex or 3-pin connector as well as monitor temperatures with five different sensors.

Here's a closer look at the temperature sensors, which is simply a diode with +- 1 Celcius precision.

Hey. I'm wanting to buy this fan controller but I have no idea if it will fit into my rig correctly. I have a Dell XPS 720, which isn't the H2C liquid cooled model. Does anybody know if this fan controller would fit? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
